Making The HulkBuster

By

In this Gumroad I'll show you about 25Hrs of work on how I did the HulkBuster using Maya, Cinema4D, UVLayout, SubstancePainter, Corona Render and Nuke!

It's for intermediate level, I show all the process from scratch to final render but without any audio comment and video are x2 speed-up to make them more dynamic and pleasant to watch.

1 - Modeling - 4Hrs

All the modeling is done in Maya, due to is powerful tools and my experienced workflow. If you want to understand this modeling workflow more in depth, I explain everything about it on Fuze Tutorial.

Here I show how I model the HulkBuster's upper body parts in HightPoly.

2 - UVs - 3Hrs

I did UVs using UV Layout, because it's one of the most powerful UV editing software and it's stand-alone. So you can use it in any pipeline, with any 3D application.

3 - Texturing - 2Hrs

For texturing I choose SubstancePainter, even if here we are'nt with a game asset but with a highPoly, I wanted to use the power of procedural texturing to speed-up the repetitive texture process. Thanks to SubstancePainter, we will only texture the head of the HulkBuster and it'll automatically texture all the body's 20k texture.

4 - Shaders and Render - 1H30

I choose Corona Render for Cinema4D to make the render. First to test this new render engine and because it's totally free in the version I use. The speed of this renderer is incredible and allow me to quickly render HD animation.

I'll show you how I build my shaders using Substance output in order to have a strong nice metal look and build some layered shaders with Blend Material and mask.

5 - Compositing - 1Hr

Finnally a bit of compositing with Nuke to add final touchs to the render animation. How to compose my .Exr MultiPass, subtle detail like Glow, CC, Denoise Glossy, Grain...
